Colorado Mountain college is close to plenty resorts (but it doesn't offer many majors). CSU is about a 2 hour drive (but its worth it). There is also CU, and University of Denver. Although might be moving to Montana next year for MSU which I hear is also close to a resort.

There's University of Utah in SLC.
Portland State University is pretty close to Mt. Hood.
Western Washington is near Mt. Baker.
There are OSU and UO Satellite Campuses in Bend, OR near Mt. Bachelor.
University Nevada - Reno is near Tahoe.

Take your pick.

I was walkin to class today and thought to myself and noticed a couple of street spots around campus that look like fun haha

There's a lot of options out there. In addition to the above, there's UC Merced and Fresno State near China Peak and Badger Pass (also probaby 4/5 hours from Tahoe). Utah State also in SLC. Northern Arizona in Flagstaff right next to Arizona Sun Bowl. Cerro Coso Community College in Mammoth Lakes (5 min bus ride to lifts).

There's a ton of options. I'd say find what you want to study and I'm sure there's probably a school near a resort. Some of these schools also have snow study majors, if you're into weather, snow, avalanche studies.

Dont waste your time in Flagstaff at SnowBowl, I live 2 hours from it and still choose to drive an extra hour and half to go to our other mountain...their park is decent tho

Boulder is super nice but $$$$$ , 4 epic resorts within 30 minutes of any school around the Salt lake City metro area.......seems like a no brainer to me.
